Description
ヨークは磁石とともに磁界発生体を構成し、この磁界発生体の磁界内に、コイルが他方の板状弾性体に取り付けた状態で配置されている。このコイルに発振回路を通じて周波数の異なる電流が切替えて付与されることにより一対の板状弾性体は選択的に共振されて振動を発生し、ヨークは枠体内で枠体の中心線方向で振動する。
コイルを有する固定体と、
前記コイルの径方向内側に、前記径方向と直交する振動方向に相対移動可能に配置されるマグネットを有する可動体と、
前記可動体を前記固定体に対して可動自在に支持する弾性支持部を有し、給電される前記コイルと前記マグネットの協働により、前記可動体が前記固定体に対して振動する振動アクチュエータであって、
前記固定体は、前記可動体を囲むように配置され、前記コイルを保持するコイル保持部を有し、
前記コイル保持部は、前記コイルの内径側に、前記マグネットから間隔をあけて配置され、前記マグネットと前記コイルとの接触を阻害するコイル保護壁部を有し、
前記弾性支持部は、前記可動体を前記振動方向で挟むように前記コイル保持部と前記可動体との間に架設された少なくとも2つ以上の板ばねを有し、
前記板ばねは、前記可動体が、前記可動体の非振動時及び振動時に、前記コイル保持部に接触しないよう、振動方向で移動自在に支持する構成を採る。
上記構成の振動アクチュエータを実装した構成を採る。
[振動アクチュエータの全体構成]
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る振動アクチュエータを示す外観斜視図であり、図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る振動アクチュエータを示す縦断面図であり、図3は、同振動アクチュエータの分解斜視図である。また、図4は、同振動アクチュエータの可動体と弾性支持部とを示す斜視図である。なお、本実施の形態における「上」側、「下」側は、理解しやすくするために便宜上付与したものであり、振動アクチュエータ10における可動体20の振動方向の一方、他方を意味する。すなわち、振動アクチュエータ10が電子機器(図16及び図17参照)に搭載される際には上下が逆になっても左右になっても構わない。
振動アクチュエータ10は、図2~図4に示すように、マグネット30及び可動体コア41、42を有する可動体20と、コイル61、62を有する固定体50と、可動体20を固定体50に対して往復動自在に支持させる板状の弾性支持部81、82と、を有する。
可動体20は、図2~図4に示すように、固定体50の筒状のコイル保持部52の内側で、且つ、弾性支持部81、82により内側本体部522の内周面522aに沿って往復移動可能に支持される。この往復移動可能な方向は、コイル保持部52の開口を塞ぐケース(便宜上、以下「上ケース」という)54及びケース(便宜上、以下「下ケース」という)56が対向する方向である。
可動体20が振動方向に移動する際には、外周面20aが内周面522aに沿って接触することなく往復移動する。
可動体コア41、42は、本実施の形態では、円環平板状に形成され、外周面をマグネット30の外周面と面一となるように配置され、マグネット30の外周面とともに可動体20の外周面20aを構成する。
本実施の形態では、可動体コア41、42は、可動体20の非振動時において、コイル61、62の内側(径方向内側)で、コイル61、62の軸方向と直交する方向で、コイル61、62に対向するように位置する。
なお、可動体コア41、42は、マグネット30とともに磁気回路における可動体側磁気回路部を構成している。
錘本体部224、244は、接合部222、242及びばね固定部226、246よりも外径が大きい筒体であり質量も大きい。
固定体50は、コイル61、62の内側で、弾性支持部81、82を介して可動体20を振動方向(コイル軸方向、着磁方向と同方向)に移動自在に支持する。
固定体50は、本実施の形態では、コイル61、62の他、コイル保持部52、上ケース(「第1ケース」と称してもよい)54、下ケース(「第2ケース」と称してもよい)56及び電磁シールド部58を有する。
コイル保持部52は、樹脂等により形成された筒状体であり、コイル61、62の径方向内側に配置され、コイル61、62とマグネット30との間に介設される内側本体部522を有する。内側本体部522は、コイル61、62の内径側でマグネット30から間隔をあけて、配置される。内側本体部522は、マグネット30とコイル61、62との接触を阻害する。
すなわち、外側本体部524、内側本体部522及び中央円環部526は、コイル保持部52において、軸方向の両端側でそれぞれ円状に開口する断面凹状のポケット(コイル挿入部)を形成している。中央円環部526はポケットの底部を構成する。この凹状のポケット内にコイル61、62が、それぞれ収容された状態で固定されている。
内側本体部522の内周面522aは、可動体20の外周面と所定間隔を空けて対向して配置されている。この所定間隔は、可動体20が、振動方向に移動する際に、内周面522aと接触することなく振動方向である軸方向に移動可能な間隔である。可動体20は、内周面522aに沿って接触することなく移動する。
また、電磁シールド部58は、コイル61、62、マグネット30、可動体コア41,42とともに磁気回路としても機能するため、推力定数を大きくして電磁変換効率を高めることができる。電磁シールド部58は、マグネット30の磁気吸引力を利用して、マグネット30とともに磁気ばねとしての機能を有する。
なお、本実施の形態では、周壁部542、562の外面は、コイル61、62を囲む電磁シールド部58の外面と面一となるように設けられている。これにより、振動アクチュエータ10は、フラットな外周面を有する略円柱状(樽状)に形成されており、小さく簡易な形状であるので、その設置のスペースを円柱状の簡易な形状で構成できる。
弾性支持部81、82は、可動体20の振動方向で、可動体20を挟み、且つ、可動体20と固定体50との双方に振動方向と直交するように架設されており、可動体20を固定体50に対して振動方向に往復移動自在に支持する。
弾性支持部81、82では、可動体20の軸方向(振動方向)で離れる両端部(ばね固定部226、246)にそれぞれ対応して内周部802が嵌合され、可動体20に、外周部806側が径方向外側(放射方向)に張り出すように取り付けられる。
弾性支持部81、82の材料としては、例えば、非磁性材料(例えばSUS304、SUS316)に比べて、磁性材料(例えば、SUS301)の方が、耐久性が高く、安価であることが知られている。
弾性支持部81、82としての板ばねは、本実施の形態では、ステンレス鋼板を用いて板金加工により形成されており、より具体的には、薄い平板円盤状の渦巻型ばねとしている。弾性支持部81、82は平板状であるので、円錐状のばねよりも位置精度の向上、つまり加工精度の向上を図ることできる。
図2~図4に示す固定ピン26、28は、それぞれ、ばね固定部226、246に圧入可能な円筒状のピン本体262、282の一端側の開口縁部に、フランジ264、284を有する。
図5Aに示すように、板状の弾性支持部81、82を可動体20に固定する際に、弾性支持部81、82のそれぞれの内周部802を、可動体20の振動方向の端部を構成するばね固定部226、246に重ねる。次いで、固定ピン26、28のそれぞれのピン本体262、282を、板状の弾性支持部81、82の内周部802、802の開口を介してばね固定部226、246で開口する貫通孔に圧入する。
図6A、図6Bに示す可動体20は、可動体20の構成と比較して、ばね止め部22、24と同様に構成されるばね止め部22A、24Aのばね固定部226、246が、振動方向側に開口する貫通孔の周囲から突出する筒状のカシメ部228、248を有する。
カシメ部228、248は、図6Aに示すように、弾性支持部81、82の内周部802の開口内に挿入される。筒状のカシメ部228、248の外周は、弾性支持部81、82の内周部802に内嵌する径を有することが望ましい。また、カシメ部228、248の内周部802を載置する面からの突出長は、弾性支持部81、82の厚みより長い。
弾性支持部82の外周部806は、図2に示すように、径方向外側で、コイル保持部52における外側本体部524の開口端と、下ケース56の周壁部562における開口部内側の段差部とに挟持されて固定体50に固定されている。
減衰部72は、弾性支持部81(82)における鋭い振動の発生を防止するものであれば、どのような形状、材料等で形成されてもよい。
図9及び図10に示す減衰部72Aは、断面T型形状のエラストマーであり、板状のフランジ722と、フランジ722の中央部から突出して設けられた押し込み部724Aとを有する。
この構成により、減衰部72Aは、断面H型形状の減衰部72よりも部品コストを低減でき、減衰部72と同等の減衰効果を実現して、共振峰を抑え、広範囲にわたり安定した振動を発生できる。
図14は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る振動アクチュエータを示す縦断面図であり、図15は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る振動アクチュエータの分解斜視図である。
すなわち、図14及び図15示す振動アクチュエータ10Aは、円柱状の固定体50A内に、可動体20Aを、円柱状の軸方向で振動可能に収容している。可動体20Aが可動することに振動アクチュエータ10A自体が振動体となる。
振動アクチュエータ10Aは、マグネット30の外周を囲むように配置される筒状のコイル保持部52Aにおいて、コイル61、62をコイル保持部52Aの外周側で保持させている。
図16及び図17は、振動アクチュエータ10、10Aの実装形態の一例を示す図である。図16は、振動アクチュエータ10をゲームコントローラGCに実装した例を示し、図17は、振動アクチュエータ10を携帯端末Mに実装した例を示す。
